A collection of my daily thoughts... most of the time.

currently playing: Squirrel Nut Zippers - Got My Own Thing Now


Work is going well. We are all in the swing of things now. Ha. In the swing of things- and I'm listening to swing. Alright... so we all have gotten to know each other pretty well and all I think. Oh, and apparently my "buddy" got married last night? Yea. I dunno, man. It was pretty funny at work though when I got an e-mail like "Hey guys! We got married last night!."

We took out Courtney to lunch today at work because it's her birthday. I didn't have a very good time. I wonder if Courtney did. It was a bunch of us and about 5 of the co-ops talked about doing drugs for about... 70% of the lunch. You all know how I feel about that. So after drugs? Religion. Oh man... two lovely lunch conversations don't you think? It's so nice to be automatically judged and stereotyped based on your religion. I love it. One thing I think I'll never understand: it seems completely contrary to what religion typically preaches to criticize and "knock" another person's religion. I think that is so hypocritical; it's not even funny. I'm not talking about questioning another religion and a normal criticism. I'm talking judging and automatically labeling someone based on his or her religion.

Example:

I am Catholic. You know this. Just because I am Catholic does not mean that I completely agree with all that the Church preaches. The Catholic doctrine is far from being perfect in my opinion. I'm not going to go into those details, but don't judge me because I'm Catholic. Please.

Oh, and when I say I'm Catholic, never... ever say "I'm sorry."
